Phew, it's finally over! :)
I finally told the most important group of people of my departure from the ministry, and my "break". There were no surprised faces on the leader's faces, and I am not surprised. The biggest thing that happened to me was when I told Aunty J. about my struggles, briefly, when we were having lunch.
I'm glad to hear that she supported my move to step down and take a rest, but like others, also added that hopefully I am not the kind who took a break and disappeared forever and ever. Well, she was the only one who actually told me that today. In fact, I felt her support even stronger when she related to me that when I was doing the ministry sharing, and revealed about my need to take a rest, someone mumbled why should I take a rest when Ps.E never take a rest. Her response for me was something I am grateful for. She understands very well what I am going through.
Shepherd D. told me that I gave a good presentation on AGLOW. Which, I really don't know which part connected to him... I mean, I only talked about significant events I know of, my prayer for AGLOW (Consolidate, Communicate, Care & Community), Ministry Challenges (shepherd/parent rapport, stronger worship, ministry with quality and not quantity, need new blood, Community Challenges (QPS needs and mission needs). Hmm.... maybe I should ask him when I got a chance.
I am thankful that somethings, without me highlighting, were highlighted by noted leaders of the church. As proven, God knows my heart and cries, and will bring them out for me.
Anyway, back to Aunty J. ...., she has noticed also people my age group, not too young, not too old are tired and disappearing... and shared that she has suggested that certain ministry provide an avenue for people like mt to have healthy fun. I'm surprised that I am comfortable to shared with her my struggles of my needs as an individual. More comforting to hear that she say she will push for more to be done for people like me, or around my age group.
Other things to notes:
- I took mental notes that certain areas require translation...
- also mental notes of the needs of other ministries (time to change ministry?)
- hear suggestions about families relationship building
- find myself liking what chinese congregation is doing in the report (change congregation)?
- new counselling unit in caring ministry...
- and others I can't think of....
Yes, I am rethinking about my decision to leave the church... minimum first 3 months however, i hope to stay away... how.. I dunno.. probably go friend's church...
It's a great relief to have reveal this to the most important group.. next group would be Timothy... then AGLOW as a whole..
as time goes by....
